A man with a van right across Maidstone
Porta's vetted drivers work the length of Maidstone and out into Kent, from the Medway and the county-town centre to Penenden Heath, Shepway, Barming and Bearsted, so one is rarely far from your door. It is the nationwide man with a van service on home ground, run by drivers who know the river bridges, the M20 and the ME postcodes. When a driver is already crossing the county town, putting your job on that run keeps the price and the empty miles down.
Over 35 vetted Porta drivers cover Maidstone and the wider Kent.
- Right across Maidstone and the rest of Kent
- The same driver and van from first lift to last, no handovers
- The carrying and the stairs sit inside the price
- Drivers who know the Medway, the county town and the ME postcodes

Maidstone man and van FAQs
What is the price of a man and van in Maidstone?
One fixed price for the job with Porta, agreed before you book instead of on a meter. Local hourly rates run about £45 to £65 with a two-hour minimum, and a run through the county town or over the Medway spends a chunk of that just loading and parking. Porta gives you the whole number first, set by the load, the distance and any help you want. Quote your postcodes to see it.
How much of Maidstone do you operate across?
The whole of Maidstone and out across Kent, the county-town centre and riverside through Penenden Heath, Shepway, Barming and Bearsted to Tovil and Grove Green. Enter both postcodes at the quote for the nearest drivers.
Do you take short-notice jobs in Maidstone?
Usually possible. If a suitable driver is close to your Maidstone pickup, same-day or short-notice work is on. Availability shifts through the day, so the quote screen is the place to check what is open right now.
What kind of loads do you handle in Maidstone?
From a lone armchair to a small Maidstone flat. Beds, sofas, dining sets, appliances, garden bits and second-hand buys are all routine; the heavier and more awkward it is, the more a man and van beats a standard courier.
Do I have to do the carrying myself?
Always. Lifting, carrying and loading come as standard, unlike hiring a van where it is all on you. Tell us about heavy items or awkward stairs when you quote and the right level of help is sent.
Any parking issues to know about in Maidstone?
Tell us about access at both ends when you quote. Maidstone has the pedestrianised High Street, the river bridges and one-way system through the centre, and terraces with permit parking, so a central or riverside pickup can need a loading spot worked out. Note any permit bays, stairs or restrictions and your driver plans the approach.
Are there any booking or call-out fees?
No to both. Porta does not run a call-out fee or a two-hour minimum; the price is set for the job, not the clock. A short local hop is priced as a short local hop.
Do you take on student moves in Maidstone?
Yes. UCA Maidstone, the University for the Creative Arts campus, draws students into the town, and a man and van suits moving between halls, shared houses and flats. Tell us the pickup, drop-off and what is going for a fixed price.
Does Maidstone have a Clean Air Zone charge?
No. Maidstone runs no charging Clean Air Zone, so there is no daily charge to drive a van through the town. Your quote is simply one fixed, upfront price for the move, with nothing extra to settle on the day.
